[scan-build] Can scan-build tool check the visual stdio (.vcxproj) project?

[LisCodee]

I want to use scan-build tool to scan a visual stdio project that used msbuild, can anyone teach me how to do this? Execute the following commands in "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022" don't work.
scan-build -o msbuild

I'm not aware of any Static Analyzer maintainers using Windows.
If we have no documentation of how this is done, that probably means we can't really help,but here are my two cents:

If you could build your project using clang-cl, then that's probably the best starting point.
I also assume you have CMake generator, which can generate the compile commands using clang-cl, so that you should be able to feed into scan-build.

Definitely let us know if you managed to find a way to set this up. We could think about explicitly supporting that workflow and document it.
